based on 7 experiences from female travelers
I spent 2 weeks in Hoi An, stayed at a lovely host, biked around the city at all times. There are plenty of great coffee spots, quiet places to relax and really nice beaches! I also made 3 dresses for myself in one of their traditional workshops for a very food price considering the materials quality. Hoi An is so beautiful at night, I went to see the lanterna multiple times and there ia also a food fair next to the river, so you’re never going home with an empty stomach. Also, I went for a massage and it was really good. People are warm and friendlt, not everyone speaks English but you’ll...

Posted: July 9, 2025Experienced: July, 2025In Hoi An I felt very safe. I was traveling with my partner, but some nights, when he was in need of a break and just wanted to relax, I would go by my self to explore and find some fresh snacks at the streetfood-markets. Loved it!

Hoi An is generally very safe for (solo) female travellers. Locals are very welcoming and friendly and I've never experienced a situation where I felt I was in danger. I advise to take normal precautions such as paying more attention when alone at night time or going out to a bar by yourself.
